Coated unicondylar knee tibia prosthesis

Definition

A sterile implantable device designed to replace the bearing surface of one tibial condyle (tibial component) during primary or revision unicompartmental replacement of the knee joint. It is made of metal [e.g., cobalt-chrome (Co-Cr)] and is coated with a material (e.g., beads, hydroxyapatite, mesh) intended to improve fixation and stability by promoting bone ingrowth. The device articulates with a femoral component and an insert, and its implantation may be performed with or without bone cement.
